Not too long ago, our teacher, being a “tree-hugger” (as the kids call her), had us write an essay on an environmental issue . I was eager to start, but something made me stop.

“What is an environmental issue ?” one kid asked . “What if we don’t care about the environment ?” another complained. “ It’s not like it affects me .”

These comments astounded me .I have always cared about the environment and assumed that others did too. From the surprised look on my teacher’s face, I could tell she felt the same way.

In no time, I finished my essay . In my essay I wrote about logging(伐木), which is an important industry, but if we continue to cut down trees without replacing them, it will damage the environment.www.zxxk.com

There are so many things that we can do to save our world. Recycling, of course, is always a good thing, but not everyone has a recycling plant nearby ( I don’t ) . There are other ways to help the environment . Plant a tree. Don’t waste water.

I can’t stand it when a person’s excuse for not caring is “Nothing’s going to happen in my lifetime, so why should I care ?” Sure, the chances of something terrible happening are slim, but I want people to realize that if we don’t deal with it, someone will have to eventually. Do you want that to be your children ?

When my teacher told me to read my essay to my class, I was a little embarrassment because I didn’t want everyone to call me “tree- hugger”. I realize now that if being a tree-hugger means you cares about the environment, I’m a tree-hugger 100 percent. I just wish more people were too.

1.Why do the students call her teacher “tree-hugger” ?

A. She likes hugging trees.             

B. She knows a lot about trees.

C. She grew up in the country.         

D. She cares a lot about the environment.

2.The underlined word in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ____.

A. helped      B. changed           C. shocked     D. interested

3.Paragraph 5 is mainly about ____.

A. what we can recycle                    

B. how we can save the earth

C. why we should protect the earth         

D. what damage we are doing to the earth

4.We can infer from the text that _____

A. the students don’t like the teacher

B. the teacher liked the author’s essay

C. the author is ashamed of being a tree-hugger

D. the author should have written a better essay

試題分析：文章大意：本文是記敘文。文章講述了一位老師讓學(xué)生們以環(huán)境為話題寫文章的故事。

1.D 推斷題。由第一段中的had us write an essay on an environmental issue 及最后一段中的being a tree-hugger means you care about the environment 可知，老師的外號(hào)源于她關(guān)心環(huán)境。故D正確。

2.C 詞義猜測題。由第三段中的I have always cared about the environment and assumed that others did too. From the surprised look on my teacher’s face, I could tell she felt the same way 可知，作者和老師一樣對(duì)學(xué)生們的評(píng)論感到震驚。故選shocked。

3.B大意題。第五段主要介紹了保護(hù)環(huán)境的方法，如回收利用、植樹、節(jié)約用水。故B項(xiàng)正確。

4.B 推理判斷題。由最后一段首句中的When my teacher told me to read my essay to my class 可推測，作者的文章符合老師的本意，所以老師才讓作者在課堂上給同學(xué)們朗讀自己的文章。故B項(xiàng)正確。

Visitors from space may have landed on our planet from time to time, maybe hundreds of times during the long, empty ages while Man was still a dream of the far future. Indeed, they could have landed on 90% of the earth as recently as two or three hundreds years ago, and we could never have heard of it. If one searches through old newspapers and records from some certain places, one can find many reports of strange events that could be some explanations about visiting from outer space. A writer, Charles Fort, has made a collection of UFO sightings in his book Lo! One is tempted(引誘) to believe them more than any modern reports, for the simple reason that they happened long before anyone had ever thought of space travel. Yet at the same time, one cannot take them too seriously, for before education on science was popular, even sightings of meteors(流星) and comets(彗星) made people believe the most unbelievable stories, as they still do today.

56.According to the passage, visitors from outer space may have landed on the earth       .

A. long before man had dreamed of it    B. long before there were human beings

C. in the last few hundred years        D. after the space travel began

57.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. Charles Fort sighted a lot of UFOs himself.  B. All sightings of UFOs are believable.

Robert Frost was one of America’s best known and most honored serious writers. But his fame came late in his life.
He was born in San Francisco, California in 1874. He lived in California during his early  childhood. He was named after the chief Southern general in America’s Civil War. The general’s name was Robert Edward Lee. The poet was named Robert Lee Frost, because his father wanted to honor the general.
Someone once asked another American writer, Ernest Hemingway, how to become a writer. The best thing, he said, was to have an unhappy childhood. If this is true, Robert Frost’s childhood was unhappy enough to make him a very good writer. Robert Frost’s father was a reporter who wanted to be a politician. He often drank too much wine and became angry. Robert was the victim (受害者) of his anger.
Robert Frost finished high school in 1891. After high school, Robert’s grandfather offered to pay his costs at Dartmouth College. But Robert left the school after a few months. He did not like it. He spent the next few years working at different jobs. At one time, he worked in a factory. Later, he repaired shoes. He was a teacher. He was a reporter. Always, he wrote poetry.
Robert Frost attended Harvard University for two years. After that, he returned to the many jobs  he held before. For a while, Frost tried to take care of a farm in the state of New Hampshire. He was not a successful farmer. And he continued to write poetry. He said that until 1930, he earned only about ten dollars a year from writing.
In 1912, he decided to try to make a new start. He took his family to Britain. The cost of living was low. In Britain, Frost found a publisher for his first book of poems. The book was called A Boy’s Will. When it appeared in 1913. Frost received high praise from British readers. Praise was something he had not received in his own country.

Heading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind;

Dress to impress: Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says, "Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional．network． You don't need to dress like you're going to the office, but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence, and look put-together．"

Lo go mania（品牌熱癥）: Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at．It's tempting to load up on logos, especially well-known logos that signify high-end brands．But consider this: college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style．Instead of wearing logos head to toe, "walking advertisement"-style, why not express who you really are?

Wear real pants: The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses．Smith points out that leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless you're exercising． Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear; As a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level．So, get rid of leggings and wear real pants!

Keep the cute factor to a minimum: Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters, or Hello Kitty on them．Sure, kittens might be cute, but they're not doing you any favors in the style department．Dressing too cutesy can take years off your look, and not necessarily in a good way!

1.The second paragraph indicates the importance of               .

A． impressing professors                           B． getting on well with classmates

C． creating a professional image                D． dressing appropriately

B． try to load up on well-known logos

科目：高中英語 來源：2011-2012學(xué)年湖北省孝感市高三第一次統(tǒng)考英語題 題型：閱讀理解

It's really true what people say about English politeness: it's everywhere．When squeezing past someone in a narrow aisle, people say "sorry"．When getting off a bus, English passengers say "thank you" rather than the driver．In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things．

After all, squeezing past others sometimes can't be avoided．a(chǎn)nd the bus driver is merely doing his job．I used lo think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles and came to appreciate some more polite ways of communicating with people．

People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time．When people buy something in a shop, customer and retail assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more．In Germany, it would be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation．British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room．English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs as opposed to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough．

Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others．Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me．my employers stressed several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism．It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable．This also is shown in other ways．British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men．However, 1 do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men' Yes, the latter are a bit tightfisted．

1.What is the author's attitude towards English politeness?

    A．He appreciates it                    B．He gives no personal opinion

    C．He thinks it is artificial             D．He thinks it goes too far．

2.What can we learn about customers and retail assistants in Germany?

    A．It's always a retail assistant who says thank you．

    B．A customer never says thank you to a retail assistant．

    C．They always say thank you to each other．

    D．They may say thank you only once．

3.We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men _____．

    A．a(chǎn)re more likely to be involved in a fighting．

    B．a(chǎn)re not so willing to spend money for women．

    C．a(chǎn)re more polite than English men.

    D．treat women in a polite way.

4.The author develops the text through the method of         .

    C．making comparisons       D．giving reasons
